Scope Of Work
METCO engineers, installed 304 solar panel modules on rooftop that collectively produce 98.8 kW electricity, meeting 50% of ’s demand. These are grid-connected AC systems with no battery or generator backup. A battery system was opted out to eliminate the need for battery charge that consumes significant .
As a result, these PV systems are wired into the grid to power up the . other 50% power requirements that are not being met by solar systems get fulfilled by transmission grid.
Being first respondents to a crisis, it is crucial to keep workplace powered up 24/7. Due to rising electricity rates, it is intuitive for large-scale buildings to invest in alternative power sources. Renewable power sources are superior option because they meet all or most needs . Furthermore, they are inexhaustible with minimum carbon footprint.
Dallas Southeast Police Station had a high performance that needed power upgrades to increase its efficiency to cut down on electricity expenses. They chose METCO to install Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems that would share the load with the transmission grid.
